Psalms 5
1 [For the Chief Musician, with the flutes. A Psalm by David.] Listen to my words, YHWH. Consider my (meditation)
Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ sɛ wɔmfa atɛntɛbɛn nto. Dawid dwom. Ao Awurade, yɛ aso ma me nsɛm na dwene mʼapinisie ho.
2 Give attention to the voice of my cry, my King and my God; for to you do I pray.
Tie me mmoa ho sufrɛ, me Ɔhene ne me Onyankopɔn, ɛfiri sɛ wo na mebɔ wo mpaeɛ.
3 YHWH, in the morning you shall hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and watch.
Ao, Awurade, wote me nne anɔpa; anɔpa, mede mʼadesrɛ ba wʼanim na mede anidasoɔ twɛn.
4 For you are not a God who desires wickedness. Evil can't live with you.
Wonyɛ Onyankopɔn a wʼani gye bɔne ho; na amumuyɛfoɔ rentumi ne wo ntena.
5 The arrogant shall not stand in your sight. You hate all evildoers.
Ahantanfoɔ rentumi nnyina wʼanim; wokyiri wɔn a wɔyɛ bɔne nyinaa.
6 You will destroy those who speak lies. YHWH despises a person of bloodshed and deceit.
Wosɛe wɔn a wɔka atorɔsɛm; Awurade kyiri mogyapɛfoɔ ne asisifoɔ.
7 But as for me, in the abundance of your loving kindness I will enter into your house. I will bow toward your holy temple in reverence of you.
Nanso me, wo mmɔborɔhunu bebrebe enti, mɛba wo fie; na anidie mu na mɛkoto akyerɛ wʼasɔredan kronkron no.
8 Lead me, YHWH, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight before me.
Ao Awurade kyerɛ me ɛkwan wɔ wo tenenee mu mʼatamfoɔ enti, bɔ wo kwan tee wɔ mʼanim.
9 For there is nothing reliable in their mouth. Their heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb; with their tongues they flatter.
Wɔn anom asɛm baako mpo nyɛ nokorɛ; ɔsɛeɛ ahyɛ wɔn akoma ma. Wɔn menewa yɛ damena a ɛso abue wɔde wɔn tɛkrɛma ka nnaadaasɛm.
10 Hold them guilty, God. Let them fall by their own counsels. Cast them out because of the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against you.
Ao, Onyankopɔn, bu wɔn fɔ! Ma wɔn pɔ bɔne nyɛ wɔn ahweaseɛ. Pam wɔn ɛsiane wɔn bɔne dodoɔ no enti, ɛfiri sɛ wɔasɔre atia wo.
11 But let all those who take refuge in you rejoice. Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them. And let those who love your name be joyful in you.
Nanso, ma wɔn a wɔdwane ba wo nkyɛn no ani nnye; ma wɔmfa anigyeɛ nto dwom daa. Trɛ wo banbɔ mu wɔ wɔn so, na wɔn a wɔdɔ wo din no ma wɔn ani nnye wɔ wo mu.
12 For you bless the righteous, YHWH. You surround him with favor like a shield.
Ao Awurade, ampa ara, wohyira teneneefoɔ; na wode wʼayamyɛ twa wɔn ho hyia te sɛ akokyɛm.
